    Buenos Aires Needs A Red Light Zone

    I tell you, I've been more offended by the sight of a transvestite going number 2 by a tree. Now THAT's gross! :mad:

    Buenos Aires Needs A Red Light Zone

    The 130 bus goes from Belgrano to Palermo through the bosques de Palermo. I rode that bus every weekday for 3 years when my kids where 7 and 5 (girl and boy) on the way back to school around the time the transvestites start working... my kids fought for the window seat so they could take a...

    Quality Bike Store That Won't Rip Me Off?

    I also bought 3 bikes in that shop at Talcahuano a couple years ago. The guy is a friend of my brothers. He even made a cheap-custom made bike for my husband. We then sold those bikes and my husband upgraded his to an SBK 700c Paris something (can't remember well) model for 4000 pesos back in...

    Swimming Pools

    Outdoor pools are usually open from Dec till late March. March is veeeery summery :P . Even April. Indoor pools... I don't know much. Club de Amigos, YMCA, Circulo Militar have indoor pools, but I've only seen the one at Club de Amigos - which is usually above standard. Megatlon has indoor...

    One more thing: I've been told that the ciclovia from Facultad de Derecho going to Retiro is not always safe.

    Exploring Ba On Bicycle

    Also, bicicleteria Canaglia has a bulletin board with upcoming bike trips. And I think I've read somewhere that there is an annual bike trip to Lujan coming up.

    Exploring Ba On Bicycle

    You can go on FB and subscribe to Masa Critica Buenos Aires, La Vida en Bici and Mejor en Bici. Mejor en Bici belongs to the Gobierno de la Ciudad and they usually organize a bicicleteada every 3rd Sunday of the month I believe.

    Local Moving Company???

    Hi! Don't know how large your "mudanza" is, but I used Mudanzas Soho a couple months ago. They are on Mercado Libre and on the internet as well. They charge you by the hour but they work very fast ($200 pesos per hour in September + don't remember how much per extra assistance. I think we gave...

    Recommending Odd-Job Man

    These recommendations are always welcome. Sorry if I hijack your post, but I have a question along the lines - Does anyone know of a 'cleaning team' that could come to a 140 sq mt apartment for a deep cleaning session? Balconies, bathrooms, cleaning windows with years of accumulated dirt, etc...

    Yoga Studio Reviews

    I took their beginners course last year. It was very thorough and felt like I learned a lot. What I did not like was the aloof atmosphere, to the point where I felt that I could not make a question or comment something for fear of bothering the teacher (a fifty something lady whose name might...

    Bike For Sale

    I am selling my bike. It is a typical 'playera' bicycle with 26 inch wheels and is dark green. I purchased it from an expat who bought it new in May 2011. I have copy-pasted the original ad which the previous owner posted here on Baexpats: It has no brakes (backpeddle to stop) and is single...

    A Lawyer Who Works On A Contigency Basis Or At Least Works

    We are locals and lawyers suck for us too... And it is worse when they are family, because you cannot demand anything ... our semi-relative lawyer refuses to give us back our case "because he feels like it is a question of honor" to give it back , but won't do much for the case either... we are...

    Cool. Wherever you go, there you are. "A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it." George Moore. I read this quote in an ad on the window of a Spanish bank many years ago and it struck me deeply. It has been 4 years and a half that I have returned to...

    Argentine Alien Resident = Mercosur?

    My daughter's DNI was issued in March last year and does not mention the word 'extranjero'. My son's DNI was issued in May last year and it does say Extranjero on the top right corner in big letters. Both DNIs start with 94.
